Lyrics

ROCK & ROLL
words & music copyright 2021 by Tim Young

In the beginning there was the noise
Travelled from town to town
Girls to Boys
Under the radar for such a long time
Until explosions rattled the mind
And then it came around
Then it could be found

Rock & Roll runs like a rhythm to the sea
Rock & Roll is anything it wants to be

Much too simple went out the cry
Nothin’ like this before
Certain to die
And so they sharpened every blade they could find
To stab it through it’s heart and leave it blind
But then it came as a surprise
When the world opened up its eyes

Rock & Roll runs like a river to the sea
Rock & Roll is anything it wants to be

So many eras come and gone
Sometimes the flame burned bright
Sometimes was gone
But when a thing has life
It’s eager to stay
And so this tribal sound
Still lives today
And like it or not
It’s what we got

Rock & Roll runs like a river to the sea
Rock & Roll is everything it wants to be
Yeah yeah, ad lib.
